The Works of Philo: Greek Text with Morphology
by 4 authors Philo of Alexandria, Borgen, Peder, Fuglseth, Kåre, Skarsten, Roald
Logos Bible Software 2005
Imagine being able to ask questions of a first-century Hellenistic Jewish philosopher, a contemporary of Jesus and Paul who worked to understand Mosaic thought in light of Greek ideals. What kinds of questions would you ask to better understand the theology, interpretive strategies, and historical context of the biblical writers, who often wrestled with the same task?
The writings of Philo Judaeus, who lived in Alexandria, Egypt, between approximately 20 B.C. and A.D. 40, provide a fascinating glimpse into the world of Jesus and the Apostles. In fact, Philo's works are a goldmine of information on Jewish exegetical methods, the worldview of the apostles, and theological matters of great importance for Christianity.
We are pleased to bring you the first electronic edition of the complete works of Philo in Greek, morphologically tagged. This resource is built upon the database compiled by the Norwegian "Philo Concordance Project," which published the first complete, printed concordance of Philo in 2000. The Logos Bible Software resource includes the complete works of Philo, in Greek, drawn from the same four text editions used to compile the concordance (Cohn & Wendland, Colson, Petit, and Paramelle). The lemmatization and morphology are also supplied by the Philo Concordance Project scholars.
See also: Works of Philo in English, Josephus in Greek (critical ed. with apparatus), and Apostolic Fathers in Greek and English (with morphology).
The Value of Philo's Works for Biblical Studies
A noteworthy example of this is Philo's discussion of the Logos as a "second god" (δευτερος θεος), a figure who was interchanged with the God of Israel in Philo's understanding of the Hebrew Bible, but who was distinct from the God of Israel. Philo's works are fundamental for demonstrating, in part, how first-century Jews could embrace the idea of a divine Son or godhead.
This is one of the most well-known examples of how Philo can inform our understanding of the NT, but careful study will show that instances abound. In 1 Timothy 1:19, Paul says, "By rejecting this [Paul's charge], some have made shipwreck of their faith..." Shipwreck is a vivid metaphor that conveys a powerful sense of disastrous results, and calls to mind the fact that Paul himself experienced shipwreck three times (2 Cor 11:25). In exploring the metaphor further, we might want to locate other instances of the Greek lemma ναυαγ?ω in other writings. A quick search of The Works of Philo: Greek Text with Morphology for this word brings up Philo's On the Change of Names where he writes,
…if we have fallen in with ever so slight a breeze which bears us towards the good fortune, immediately set all sail and became greatly elated, and being full of great and high spirits, hurry forward with all our speed to the indulgence of our passions, and never will check our unbridled and immoderately excited desires until we run ashore and are wrecked as to the whole vessel of our souls.
Philo uses the same verb (ναυαγ?ω) employed by Paul, in a similar context. (Notice that the English translation doesn't use the word "shipwreck" which is all the more reason to own the lemmatized Greek text.) Like Paul, Philo conveys the image of a ship run aground on a leeward shore. The subject's soul or faith is utterly destroyed as a result of heedless and reckless adherence to the wrong course.
These are just a couple of examples of how valuable it is to have an electronic edition of Philo in Greek, making it easy to find words, phrases, even complex constructions that occur both in Philo and the New Testament.
Looking beyond the New Testament, Philo's works are cited dozens of times by the Apostolic Fathers and other early Christian writers (a complete list of these references has been compiled here), which is another indication of how important they are for contextualizing Christianity. In fact, some early Christian writers attempted to claim him as a Christian. For example, the church historian Eusebius believed Philo and Peter knew each other. In addition to Philo's teachings about the Logos, his writings on concepts such as the Holy Spirit, grace, faith, and the "spiritual (ideal) Israel" seem quite Christian.
Anchor Bible Dictionary summarizes the value of Philo's works as follows:
In modern historical research, Philo is studied as a source for Greek philosophy, as a representative of Second Temple Judaism and as a forerunner of early Christian thought. As for the latter, Philo has especially been studied to throw light on the concept of Logos in the Gospel of John, on Platonisms in the Epistle to the Hebrews, and on exegetical techniques and forms used in the New Testament. Philo's writings reflect a variety of movements within Judaism in the time of the beginnings of Christianity, and this observation has thrown light on some of its conflicts and debates, particularly in relation to Judaism and the Hellenistic world.
Gregory E. Sterling has written a couple of articles pointing to the value of Philo for New Testament studies. Writing in Perspectives in Religious Studies, he asserts:
Are the works of Philo important for our understanding of the New Testament and Christian origins? I suggest that they are. In fact, I think that the Philonic corpus is the single most important body of material from Second Temple Judaism for our understanding of the development of Christianity in the first and second centuries. Perhaps this will strike you as an extravagant claim in light of the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Josephan corpus. I would not deny the importance of either of those corpuses for the study of the New Testament and Christian origins. I am convinced, however, that the Philonic corpus helps us to understand the dynamics of early Christianity more adequately than any other corpus.
A great deal of excellent information about Philo and the value of his writings for modern scholarship can be found on the Resource Pages for Philo of Alexandria and the Philo of Alexandria Blog (both of which are maintained by Dr. Torrey Seland, professor in biblical studies at Volda University College in Norway).
About the Philo Concordance Project
Contributors to the project are:
- Peder Borgen (University of Trondheim)
- Roald Skarsten (University of Bergen)
- Kåre Fuglseth (University of Trondheim)
The Philo Concordance Project website introduces the project as follows:
The Philo Concordance Project is a Norwegian project aiming at producing a complete Philo electronic concordance. The word indices printed this far are printouts of a database containing all the Greek words in the writings of Philo of Alexandria, main fragments included.
The database consists of about 437 400 tokens (textforms) and more than 14 000 different lemmas (the chosen entry form). A complete KWIC version would fill more than 10 000 pages on paper. Such a large volume of material is better suited for a publication in electronic form rather than in book form.

Selecting the right course depends on everything from location to level of difficulty. Use the following guidelines to help match the links to the players.
* Is the location convenient for the majority of players? A two-hour drive from the meeting location to the course will dampen the spirits of even the most enthusiastic participants. Whenever possible, choose a course that is fast and easy to get to.
* How many players will there be? An 18-hole course might barely accommodate 144 players, but the pace of play would be incredibly slow. Many facilities have 27 or 36 holes, and would provide a more comfortable venue for groups of more than 120 players.
* What is the clubhouse dining capacity? If food is planned, can the clubhouse comfortably accommodate your group? Have they handled a similar-sized outing in the past? The club manager or facility general manager should be able to provide answers and even references from previous group outings.
* Will locker rooms be necessary? Most players will want to change shoes before play and possibly shower after play. Determine how many women are participating, and make certain that the ladies locker room is adequate for their needs.
* If the course requires alternatives to metal spikes, will the staff remove them and replace with nonmetal for all your players? And is there a charge for this service? The head golf professional will know.
* Does the course have a large enough practice area? Many players will want to warm up before play, and an undersized area may cause confusion, delay, and unhappiness. It is also advisable to ask the head golf professional or general manager if use of the practice range is included in the golfing fee.
* Does the course provide a scoreboard and special event markers? Most will, but if an outing runs late, it may be difficult for the staff to complete the scoring before participants leave.
* How flexible are club policies regarding group outings? What if it rains heavily the day of play? Are alternate dates available? Policies run the gamut; some clubs are more adaptable than others.
* Match the tees to the level of golfer. More than any other single element, it is where the player tees off that makes a course easy or difficult. Some courses will have four or five sets of tees for each hole--always choose easy tees for beginning golfers.
* Know the course designer. Certain golf course architects such as Pete Dye are known as diabolical designers, because their courses can be very tough to play--not because the hole is so long that players can't drive the ball, but because of tricky elements like right or left hand turns on the hole. On the other hand, Arnold Palmer designs courses with generous fairways where players can use their drivers. In that respect, his courses are a bit easier.
* Beware of doglegs and forced carries. (Doglegs are sharp turns to the left or to the right, and a forced carry refers to an obstacle, like a lake, that players have to drive the ball over.) These can be brutal for golfers who can't hit the ball very far.
* Hills can mess with players' depth perception. If we look across a flat surface to a flag stick, we have a pretty good idea of how far away it is. But valleys and peaks distort our sense of distance.
* Trees behind the green help with distance perception. They provide a measuring gauge. But if the green goes into horizon, as at some ocean courses, it is difficult to know how far away the hole is from the tee.
* For beginning golfers, avoid courses with lots of sand traps and water hazards. Railroad ties are sometimes used to form a border around the green. But when a ball hits the tie, it bounces straight back at the player.
* Flat means easy. A relatively flat course that is mostly wide open, without a lot of water elements, is most appropriate for beginners.
* The most player-friendly courses may be found off the beaten path. A course that doesn't get a lot of play might be most psychologically comfortable for beginners.
* Ask friends and colleagues who play regularly where their most unforgettable group golf experiences took place. If the same club or course is mentioned by a number of different players, chances are the staff at that facility know how to handle group golf.
* Talk to the local PGA section office. They can recommend a number of clubs in any given area with solid reputations for conducting great group golf events.
* Talk to golf resorts themselves--to the general manager, director of sales, marketing director, or head golf professional. Many will be willing to design packages to meet the needs of a particular group event. Do not be afraid to rely on their expertise: They have usually done this many times before.
Questions to Ask A format sets the tone for the event before the players even reach the golf course. Sometimes, a golfer's decision whether or not to play will be influenced by the tournament format. Make sure it is consistent with the meeting's objectives, and consider the following questions:
* Does the entire group have a legitimate USGA handicap? If so, you should run a handicapped event.
* Are both men and women playing? If this is the case, do you want each team to have a certain make-up?
* How competitive should the event be?
* Should you encourage team play or individual play?
* Are you playing a "great" course? If so, serious golfers would like to play their own ball the whole round, not a scramble.
* Are there certain people that need to golf in the same group?
Terms and Formats * A scramble, the most popular format for group events, can be made up of two- to five-player teams. (There has to be prior course approval to hold a five-person scramble.) In this format, each player hits his or her tee shot. Upon arriving at each ball, the team then decides which shot was the best. From that point, all players hit the next shot. This process of choosing the best shot continues until the ball is holed out. Some variations call for the player who hit the prior best shot not to be allowed to play the next shot; another variation is that each player's tee shot must be used a minimum number of times throughout the round.
* Best-ball formats can be made up of two- or four-person teams. In contrast to a scramble, each player plays his or her own ball throughout the entire round. At the end of each hole, each partner's score is compared to see which score was the lowest. That lowest score goes on record as being the team score for the hole. This format also has many variations that can be used.
* The Callaway system of scoring allows for the handicapping of players who do not have established USGA handicaps. A simple conversion table is used to handicap players at the end of a round to determine their net score. This conversion chart is predominantly based on the overall score less the player's worst holes. It may not be the perfect answer for equally handicapping a field, but it does give everybody a chance to win.
* There are various ways of establishing the start-up terms. In a shotgun start, all golfers tee off at the same time, but on different holes. The golfers then rotate through the holes in order until they return to the hole on which they started. This allows for the entire field to finish at the same time, making food and beverage planning easier. The maximum number of players that can be accommodated with this format is 144. However, to avoid overcrowding of the course, which will slow down play, it's better not to book more than 132 golfers with this format. This type of start gets its name from the fact that often a gun or starter's pistol is shot into the air to signify the start of play (because of the fact that golfers are spread out all over the course). In fact, most shotgun starts are simply started by each group teeing off when they arrive at their assigned hole. Carts and foursomes are given "tee assignments" instead of tee times, and given numbers such as 1A or 11B, signifying the first group playing from hole number 1 and the second group off hole number 11.
* Modified Shotgun: This is used if there are not enough groups to occupy all 18 holes. The players all start at the same time but do not occupy the entire course. Usually, the facility will consent to this only if it can book other golfers on the course as well.
* Tee Times: This is when groups tee off on the first or the 10th hole in consecutive intervals. The average tee time allotted between foursomes is eight minutes. Double-check with the individual course as to its time intervals.
* Double Tee: This is when the group tees off on both the 1st and 10th tees simultaneously. The players on the back nine then rotate to the front to finish their round. This is usually done if there are not enough players for a shotgun start, but you wish to consolidate the time between groups finishing the round. This is also done at the discretion of the course.
* Round of Golf: This is the time needed to complete 18 holes of golf. The average time is four-and-a-half hours, but will vary by course and the number of players. Always get an estimate, as it will help with planning all of the group's after-golf activities. *
The tips on how to choose a golf course were provided by Ray Koenig, manager of course relations for The Leading Golf Courses of America, based in Wheeling, Ill. The Leading Golf Courses of America markets golf courses and golf programs around the world. The information on formats and golf terms was adapted from The Guide to Running a Golf Outing, written by FAIRWAYS Corporate Golf Services, Inc., Pittsburgh, Penn. FAIRWAYS specializes in event management and travel planning.
More Golf Tips for Planners * Block tee times and tournaments as soon as the meeting is confirmed. They are often booked months, or even years, in advance.
* Appoint a golf coordinator to assist in the planning and implementation of the event.
* Have the golf coordinator assist in the facilitation of the pairings list or roster of players. Also ask for the golf coordinator's help with billing.
* Provide the resort pro with cart and starting-time assignments and bag pulls 48 hours prior to the first scheduled tee time.
* Consider a customized golf clinic for hands-on instruction in an enjoyable atmosphere.

I went there to the 5200 ranch road 2222 location last night on July 10th. IT was a horrible experience due to our BAD waiter. He was very an older tall guy who looked unshowered. H also wore a heavy bearded chin maybe brownish hair. He had a very very nasty attitude!!Without a doubt he was by far the rudest waiter of all time. If I didn't have friends with me I would of complained to manager. Moreover, the food wasn't worth the price. We spent over a few hundred dollars trying to have an enjoyable dinner and I've been throwing up all night. The waiter was the seriously evil and disrespectful!!! He shoudl get fired!! I DO NOT recommend this restaurant to anybody wanting to eat good and have a good time. Also, my graituity was already applied to the check because we were a large party for which is why the waiter was disgustingly rude!! I left my negative feedback on several websites hoping to deter anybody wanting to enjoy themselves from experienicing what I did. I strongly recommend this guy get fired!! He is not GOOD for your eating establishment!!
Try the Memphis Style Ribs! – WOW! We just ate at the County Line on the Hill last night and had a perfect meal! We sat on the patio and the view was just beautiful. Hubs and I shared a rack of their new Memphis Style Dry Rub Ribs (comes with bbq sauce on the side) and WOW! If you like spice like we do, try these. We had sides of garlic mashed potatoes, macaroni, and regular mashed potatoes. All were good but the garlic mashed potatoes were heaven on a plate. We ordered their white home made bread which, coupled with their honey butter, dear heaven, where have you been all my life? Washed it all down with their Ultimate Margarita and waddled home two very happy people.
A distant memory – County Line used to be a favorite of mine. The bread is still out of this world. However, the ribs are dry and have no flavor, the brisket is so-so, the sausage is still good. There is better BBQ in Austin.
Oh, and be careful. They have a "computer" problem that will randomly pick people and charge them twice (yes, that was me and after 6 phone calls, it was finally fixed). Sadly, all their management can do is say "sorry". Not great when you rely on repeat business and word of mouth.
5 Star Service & food – Superlative service! Ren is the best Ninja Waiter I have been served by. The food is fantastic, especially the chicken, and view is awesome. I would like to have sat by the window but it is a bar area only serving cocktails and appetizers.
Not so much... – We recently hosted quite a few out of town guests and had the ocassion to visit both County Line and Salt Lick (see separate review). Years ago, County Line was a fav of ours during college because the bread is out of this world. The homemade bread is still THE BEST and I would consider going there to pick up a loaf or two to go. Otherwise, Salt Lick is light years ahead on the BBQ front. The chopped beef sandwich was dry, the veggie kabob was horribly dry and flavorless, and the rest was just okay. The service was awful as we sat there for over 5 minutes before even being acknowledged by the server, and that was just to tell us that she'd be there soon. In the meantime she passed our table several times over again. The bill for 4 adults and 2 children was $82 (we drink water). The view is nice but not spectacular. The patio was sweet looking and I'm willing to bet that the ambiance is much improved when the live music is playing and the string lights are glowing. All in all, we will be returning only to pick up loaves of bread.
It was alright...good to go to now and then ...sure! – Good food. A tad bit expensive for a family with children...but I would go again. Nice atmosphere. Good place to bring out of town visitors
Excellent sandwich bread – Visited with some friends early afternoon. No crowd, so I really can't comment on service if/when things get hectic.
Ordered a brisket sandwich with coleslaw side. The bread for the sandwich was excellent, perfect density and melded well with the (slightly overcooked) brisket. Coleslaw was too mayonaissey, too much fat takes away from the taste of the brisket, which should dominate the meal. Drinks served in ENORMOUS glasses.
Service was good. Overall, it seems somewhat overrated, but is is clean, big and the setting on the river is very beautiful. You could do much worse...
seating is awful – seating was awful had 10 in party waited 2 hours to get seated. Service was not good and food was not what all the rave is about.
GOOD FOOD - needs organization – Good, not too spicy, a little undercooked, but delicious. I've been cooking for awhile professionally and I'll eat here again. MY big critique is that we had to deal with 2 different people to order booze and to order food. That's gotta stop......
Recommended, but Busters is better – Good view, ok food. Brisket was nothing special, sides either. Service was solid though. Looking ofr the best check out Busters just west of Lakeway, it's much better if you can stand the outdated decor.

In accepting the award, team leader Ben Sumlin explained that they were doing atmospheric research, using weather balloons to quantify distribution of pollution in the atmosphere, when they realized the same technology also could be put to use in the mines to measure diesel exhaust and improve safety.
In a state where the mining industry has deep roots, helping to earn the former territory its statehood in 1864, and at a university known worldwide for its mining education and research, it seemed befitting that the Sontag Entrepreneurship Award went to a team that has produced a prototype to improve safety in the mining industry.
Thirty-five student teams submitted business plans to the competition, and six were named finalists a few weeks ago: BOX Feeds, Entropy Fuel Systems, Envirohaven, GrabiTech, METS and Modphalt. On Wednesday, the students gathered at the university with family, friends, mentors and faculty for the announcement of the winner.
Alumnus Rick Sontag and his wife, Susan, funded the competition last September, with a $1 million gift to the university. Sontag earned his master's degree in physics at the university in 1966, where he said he had an epiphany, realizing that he was "more interested in the administration and management of science than actually doing the sciences." He went on to earn his MBA at Harvard and become a very successful entrepreneur.

Nineteenth-Century European Art - 2 of 7
Alfred Stevens
Belgian, 1823-1906
The Duchess (formerly known as The Blue Dress)
31.9 x 26 cm
Acquired by Sterling and Francine Clark, 1920
Stevens was educated in the conservative, established tradition of the French and Belgian academies of the nineteenth century. The Duchess is a tour-de-force of illusionism, demonstrating his skill as a colorist and recorder of detail. While his subject — a young beauty apparently ruminating over the contents of a letter — had a long history in European art, Stevens updates it by dressing the woman in the height of fashion and surrounding her with furniture and decorations in the Japanese style.
This work is currently included as part of the Clark's international tour.

Its the balancing spool and yes you can replace it if you are reasonably mechanicly inclined. Part number RP19804
In our secondary bathroom, our shower/tub has a single handle knob and when turned to HOT no hot water comes out at all and it just shuts off the water (it drips just a little bit when on full HOT, and that water is also NOT HOT). It is a condo unit and it used to work just fine and this particular shower has seen very little and infrequent use. All other faucets work perfectly fine in the condo.
What do you think the problem is and how can I fix it myself? Thank you for any and all help!
Its the balancing spool and yes you can replace it if you are reasonably mechanicly inclined. Part number RP19804
Do you have a plumbing shop in your area that deals with DIYers? These guys are knowledgeable about the products and are very willing and able to show you what to do. You may occasionally find a "smock man" that can do this, but usually at a Box store you just find sales people. Actually, once the cover plate is removed, you should be able to pretty well figure out what to do next.
You may find it very easy to turn a small job into a big one...
There is a nut that holds the cartridge in that if it is hard to remove and you twist too hard you can ruin the valve.
Yes, yes you can...
I just post cuz I like to see my avatar.

Nestle recently launched a 21st century Willy Wonka-style contest in the U.K. with a slightly alarming title: "We Will Find You."
A Facebook campaign led to a PR disaster for Nestle, and now the food giant is cutting ties to companies that contribute to deforestation in their harvesting of palm oil.
Food company's Facebook fan page became a lesson in how not to deal with social-media backlash this week, when a company rep snapped back at environmentally motivated critics.
Open source delivers cost and flexibility benefits, as Nespresso found after enlisting MuleSource and Optaros to help it define and implement a new middleware architecture.
The Tweeting Bra is a Twitter-connected bra with a greater purpose. Every time it comes undone, it sends a tweet.
Google doesn't need the money, and it certainly has no problem with awareness. So why partner with a candy company at all?
Google has made a surprise announcement -- the next version of Android is called KitKat, not Key Lime Pie. Yes, like the chocolate bar.
The next version of Android will be called KitKat, as in the Nestle chocolate wafers, and comes with a contest to win Android and Google Play swag.
Word on the street is that the new phone and next Android update will explode onto the scene together on October 15.
Using techie language to describe the chocolate-covered candy bar in a YouTube video, Kit Kat's "chief breaks officer" makes the snack sound like a finely crafted smartphone.

No one loves adventure more than kids. Release your little monkeys onto a Go Ape course designed just for them at Go Ape Tree Top Junior.
Have your children got a taste for adventure? Are they regular tree climbers or born explorers? Perhaps you would just like to get a bit closer to nature? If you're looking for outdoor activities for children, then Go Ape's got the answer. The Tree Top Junior adventure is a fun-filled experience of canopy exploring, trail blazing and obstacles for all to enjoy. You'll negotiate tree-to-tree crossings, high above the ground whilst safely harnessed and finish on a high (literally) with one awesome Zip Wire finale.
The course is aimed at 6 to 12 year olds but anyone above 1 metre tall can take part, and big kids are welcome too if you want to accompany your little Tarzan on the course.
On arrival you'll receive a brief safety briefing by one of the qualified, experienced instructors before you head out onto the course.
It's not complicated, but it is important and will give you confidence to enjoy your time up in the trees. After your training you will no longer be supervised on a one to one basis but there will always be an instructor patrolling the forest floor. You are always attached during Go Ape Tree Top Junior and instructors are always present so you're free to swing safely in the trees.
Opening times vary at each of the tree top adventure sites. Courses close during December and January, partly because of the winter weather and partly so they can maintain the courses to their high Go Ape standards. Opening times vary on daylight hours – some open at 08.00 in the summer for those really keen gorillas and monkeys.
We recommend you book at least six weeks in advance to ensure that dates are available. This is only a guideline and we advise you to book as early as possible to ensure that dates are available before the expiry date listed on your voucher. All bookings are subject to availability.
Please allow approximately one hour for this experience, including the safety briefing.
Yes – that's a great idea to get them in the forest. You can have as many of your pri-mates as you want capturing those swinging moments. So make sure they have their cameras at the ready.
Only recorded or special delivery are available with this product.
Please note that participants under the influence of drugs or alcohol will be unable to take part.

The various versions of this TV series ran for a total of 200 episodes.
The series had its genesis in "Codename Sailor V," Naoko Takeuchi's short-lived 1991 manga in "Run-Run" magazine. It reappeared- this time with several color-coded heroines- as "Sailor Moon" in "Nakayoshi" magazine as part of a multimedia promotion with the anime.
The first season of the show closes with a depiction of the entire cast being killed off temporarily; in the United States release, the cast is depicted as being detained elsewhere.
The final episode in 1996 did poorly in the ratings. The producers responded by changing the series to attract younger viewers.
"Sailor Moon R[eturns]" (1993) introduced the Black Moon and Chibi-Usa (Rini).
"Sailor Moon S[uper]" (1994) introduced Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune. Characters also included Professor Tomoe and the Death Busters.
Also in 1994, "Sailor Moon S[uper] S" was released; this is not to be confused with "Sailor Moon S[uper]"! The show focused more on Chibi-Usa and less on Usagi in a bid to target younger girls. However, ratings reached a record low. Characters included Pegasus and Queen Nephrenia.
A final season was titled "Sailor Moon Sailor Stars." Characters included Sailor Galaxia, Shadow Galactica and Sailor Starlight (the Three Lights).
Several were released theatrically. Kunihiko Ikuhara's 60-minute "Sailor Moon R" (1993) was set during the Nega Moon story in the TV series. "Make Up Sailor Senshi!" ("Dreaming Moon") also appeared in 1993, running for 42 minutes. "Sailor Moon S The Movie" (1994) ran for 60 minutes; characters included a young astronomer.
Hiroki Shibata's "Sailor Moon SS" (1995) ran for 60 minutes.
Characters included a new friend of Chibi-Usa. It was billed with the 16-minute movie "Ami-chan's First Love," starring Sailor Mercury.
A dubbed version was imported into the United States. It failed, largely because its timeslot was much too early in the morning.
Erotic parodies of "Sailor Moon" were done in the video series "Venus Five," as well as in "Sailor and the Seven Balls."

STIGMABUSTERS ALERT: March 2004
Cracking Up: One of the Worst
On Tuesday, March 9, the FOX TV network premiered a new situation comedy: "Cracking Up," in which a wealthy dysfunctional family invites a psychology graduate student to live in their Beverly Hills mansion to treat their young son as part of his work toward his degree.
What the therapist in training discovers is that the son is fine; it's the rest of the family that gets to him. The mother has bipolar disorder exacerbated by alcoholism. The father is a business executive and latent sociopath. The oldest son exhibits obsessive-compulsive symptoms. Their Latino maid is an offensively stereotyped immigrant who wants to flee the "crazy" household, but can't because the family has hidden her immigration papers. The blonde cheerleader daughter? Well, never mind. You can imagine.
It's a lot like "The Addams Family" or "The Munsters" from the 1960s, except that the stereotypes and butts of jokes involve mental illnesses and substance abuse.
The premiere episode ranks as one of the worst examples of stigma in television history.
The second episode on Wednesday, March 10 was tamer and less directly offensive.
The third episode will air in what will be the show's regular slot on Monday, March 15 at 8:30 PM EST (Check local listings).

The San Francisco 49ers' Randy Moss said Tuesday that he is the best wide receiver to ever play in the National Football League.
On Sunday night, he might not even be the best receiver in the game, but he could have the biggest impact.
No offense to Moss, he is probably the second best receiver in history. Statistically, only Jerry Rice is better when it comes to receiving touchdowns (197 to 156) and Moss' 15,292 receiving yards are third behind Rice's 22,895 and Terrell Owens' 15,934.

And then there is this little issue of Super Bowl rings. Rice has three, and Moss has zero. Case closed.
» The latest on traffic, delays and road construction delivered to your mobile phone. Click to sign up to receive text alerts!
But that could change Sunday night in Super Bowl XLVII.
After a year of retirement, the 35-year-old Moss signed with San Francisco this season and he could finally get a Super Bowl ring to possibly finish off a 14-year Hall of Fame career.
"It's actually a dream, really," said Moss, one of the few players on both teams who could command as much media attention as Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis. "By me taking a year off and having to work out for almost a whole year, being able to come back and be in the Super Bowl one year later is just a dream."
When asked if he plans on coming back to play another season, Moss said he wants to, but the focus is on Sunday night.
Here's one title he definitely can own: Moss is the greatest decoy in the history of the NFL.
He caught only 28 passes for 434 yards and three touchdowns during the regular season, but he still commands respect.
He is still in remarkably good shape, and his size — 6 feet 4, 215 pounds — still gives him an advantage. At an age when most players have lost a step or two, Moss still runs the 40-yard dash in 4.25.
The Ravens don't want to get "Mossed" in the Super Bowl, a term used to describe his catches over defensive backs.
"He is still Randy Moss," Ravens cornerback Corey Graham said. "That in itself says something. He has been great in this game for so long and been able to do things few other players can do. Unfortunately for us, he can still do them, and he has great spring in his legs.
"You never know with this team because he can still go over the top and make big plays," Graham said. "Wherever he is on the field, we've got to be aware and concerned."
The addition of Moss may have put the 49ers in the Super Bowl.
A year ago, they had a strong running game and a decent short- to mid-range passing game, but they didn't have a vertical threat or a quarterback with a strong enough arm to put fear in opponents.
Because of Moss and his speed, opposing defenses had to put a safety over top to double-team him. The 49ers use Moss outside and in the slot. He is a threat from any alignment.
Not only did the addition of Moss open up the passing game, but it opened up the field for fourth-year receiver Michael Crabtree, who went over 1,000 receiving yards for the first time and had a career high nine touchdown passes.
And here's the kicker: Moss never complained.
It's the truth. He may have been a prima donna with the Minnesota Vikings, alienated the media as a member of the New England Patriots and didn't work hard with the Oakland Raiders, but he simply accepted his role in San Francisco.

Police: Stenehjem Didn't Wear Seat Belt Before CrashNorth Dakota's Senate majority leader, Bob Stenehjem, was not wearing a seat belt and was thrown from the sport utility vehicle he was driving when he was killed in an Alaskan highway crash, authorities said Tuesday.
By: Associated Press,
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota's Senate majority leader, Bob Stenehjem, was not wearing a seat belt and was thrown from the sport utility vehicle he was driving when he was killed in an Alaskan highway crash, authorities said Tuesday.
An Alaska State Troopers report said there was no indication alcohol was a factor in the one-vehicle accident, which happened at about noon Monday local time. Its cause was unclear.
Bob Stenehjem, a Bismarck state senator for 18 years and the Republican majority leader for a decade, had been on a fishing trip with family members. Stenehjem worked as the city of Bismarck's road and streets foreman. His brother, Wayne Stenehjem, is North Dakota's attorney general.
A blood sample from Bob Stenehjem's body will be analyzed for the presence of alcohol or drugs, which is standard procedure in a fatal accident, said Greg Wilkinson, a spokesman for Alaska's Department of Health and Social Services.
Alaska's medical examiner may perform an autopsy on Bob Stenehjem on Wednesday, Wilkinson said, depending on whether a cause of death is evident from an external inspection of his body.
Results of the blood test and any autopsy will be provided to Alaska police and Stenehjem's family but will not be made public, Wilkinson said.
Stenehjem's funeral arrangements were pending Tuesday. An investigation into the crash is continuing, said Megan Peters, a spokeswoman for the Alaska Department of Public Safety.
Stenehjem, 59, was driving north on the Sterling Highway toward Soldotna, a city on Alaska's Kenai Peninsula, on Monday when he crossed the center line, went across the highway's southbound lane and into a roadside ditch, the report says.
The SUV hit an embankment, rolled several times and came to rest on its roof in a driveway, the report says. Bob Stenehjem; his son, Robert W. Stenehjem Jr., 34, who is known as Rob to his family; and a friend of Rob Stenehjem's, Keith Johnson, 34, of Hinckley, Minn., were not wearing seat belts and were thrown from the vehicle, the report says.
Daniel Stenehjem, 11, who is Rob Stenehjem's son and Bob Stenehjem's grandson, was wearing a seat belt and remained in the SUV, the report says. The boy was treated at Central Peninsula Hospital in Soldotna and released.
Alaska law requires everyone in a vehicle to be wearing a safety belt, Peters said. It is a primary enforcement law, which means police may stop a vehicle if a driver or passenger is seen driving without wearing a seat belt. It carries a $15 maximum fine for a first offense.
Violators of North Dakota's seat-belt law may be ticketed only if police first pull over the motorist for a separate offense. As a state senator, Bob Stenehjem opposed proposals to make North Dakota's seat-belt law into a primary enforcement law, and friends said he personally disliked wearing a seat belt.
Rob Stenehjem was listed in fair condition at the Soldotna hospital Tuesday, said hospital spokeswoman Bonnie Nichols. She said he had surgery to repair a broken right wrist and had a puncture to his chin, mouth injuries, bruises to his eyes and abrasions all over his body.
Johnson was taken to Providence Alaska Medical Center in Anchorage, where spokeswoman Crystal Bailey said he was listed in critical condition on Tuesday. Bailey said she could not provide details about Johnson's injuries.
